Hi everyone- so excited for my 2nd Camino. First was 5/2016. Walked entire way w/o using rain coat or fleece. Wondering if I really need them for 2 week trip starting tomorrow - Logroño to??? Concerned about heat wave carrying more than I need or leaving behind what I do. Thanks in advance - BUEN CAMINO
Amazing.A trashcan caught fire two days ago in Castrojeriz, supposedly from the sun's rays concentrated through a pair of glasses that were thrown away among the papers!
There are fires, bad ones. But terrible news is the clickbait the 24/7 news cycle loves, so things on the ground may not be as extreme as they sound. If you're worried about conditions, find someone who is closer to them than an aircon office in Madrid. Like @Rebekah Scott and other people on this forum who live in Spain and Portugal.this, too, shall pass.
bottles do that too.
I am saddened to be referred to as a frightened person or as someone who gets the news from “click/bait”.By the way, the latest heat wave in Spain has cost us two hospitaleros, frightened away by overheated news reports. Please note the heat waves are very temporary, and wild fires are very scattered and rare. I have every consideration for the concerns of my volunteers... but this, too, shall pass.
And I've lived through wildfires myself, during my long years in the trenches.
I'm very sorry you took that clickbait comment personally @konnie, because that isn't what was meant nor said. I'm sure it was an awful decision to have to make..I am saddened to be referred to as a frightened person or as someone who gets the news from “click/bait”.
I was referring to how the media tends to feed on misfortune and how things are often not as dire as they sound from afar.But terrible news is the clickbait the 24/7 news cycle loves, so things on the ground may not be as extreme as they sound. If you're worried about conditions, find someone who is closer to them than an aircon office in Madrid. Like @Rebekah Scott and other people on this forum who live in Spain and Portugal.
Certainly all of these things are present somewhere along the way. Heat is certainly universal right now.Fires, heat, smoke, burned out areas, transportation disruptions. Who knows?
